In the wastebasket of my character: Angela

The marriage, an actual right decision, isn’t it?

…And there was Angela, a young girl who was just in her early twenties. She was a middle class woman, who grew up in a happy family, in spite of being the daughter of a single mother. She was a sweet and naïve girl, who tended to be easily influenced and credulous about what people said. Put it into these words: she was kind of dumb!!

About her father, her mother told her that long time ago he had died in unclear circumstances for her, but anyway, she said he had been a good husband and father. Her mother worried so much about Angela because she didn’t have any relative that supported her since they were alone, and for Angela, without a father to support her, the best option was supposedly to find a kind of protection, thus her mother decided to suggest her to choose a good man in order to get married and to settle herself as a married woman. However, Angela´s mother insisted her on being selective with her choice in terms of love and well - being. Therefore, the chosen guy should have a stable socioeconomic status, which could guarantee Angela´s welfare. In such a way, she would get a company and, at the same time, a comfort of home.

Incidentally, she knew Norman, a thirty-one year old man, who worked in a factory as an operator, in Angela´s town. They started a conversation at a bus stop, and he finished asking for Angela´s phone number. They started going out until ending in a love relationship. What Angela really liked about Norman was the way he heard all what she said, even the most minimum details she told him. As well, he always seemed to care about her. After one year and a half of engagement, and with Angela´s mother approval, they decided to get married.

The wedding would be in the summer, in about two months. Angela and her mother felt really blessed due to this wedding. Both thought they would improve their lifestyle in many ways. Plus Angela felt really in loved with Norman.

Once, Angela decided to go for a walk since she wanted to think about herself and her future lifestyle as Norman´s wife. She aimlessly walked, immersed herself in her thoughts. She arrived to a deserted place, unknown for her, and she started to observe all over the place. Suddenly, she saw a woman buried head – deep. Angela felt curiosity about her and approached where she was.
